Hey, gurls!

Alright, I give up. The wait is over.

For those of you who commented, thanks a bunch, and sorry for putting y'all through torture.

Now, let's get this party started!

*Avi POV*

I traveled through the woods, faster than the wind... no, riding the wind.

I laughed, the sound coming out of my hawk's beak as easily as it would my human mouth.

This was freedom. Freedom to be who I was, without judgment, without fear.

Suddenly, I felt a sudden heaviness, and I looked to see chains appearing on my wings.

With my wings trapped, I started to fall, gaining speed as I plummeted out of the sky.

I twisted and fought against the bindings, terror holding me as tightly as these chains.

I was going to die...

...and then I woke up as my alarm clock went off, signaling that it was time to get ready for school.

I was in my human form, in bed, at home.
And there were no chains on any part of me.

I sighed with relief as I got out of bed.

Just another stupid dream, I thought.

As I got dressed, I felt the back of my neck tingle, and I couldn't help but feel like there was someone watching me.

I turned to look out the window, but I didn't see anyone there.

I shrugged, going back to what I was doing.

When I got to school, I immediately met up with my group of friends: Melanie, Todrick, Tyler, Troye, Scott, Mitch, Beyoncé (we called her Queen B, mostly as a joke), Kirstie, Esther, and Sia (she was a little shy).

"Hey, guys," I said, smiling.

"Avi," said Scott, "there's a bit of an issue here."

Then I saw that Melanie had tears in her eyes, and Sia was had a frown on her mouth (that was pretty much all anyone could see if her, due to the fact that she liked to wear a wig that hid her face).

"What happened?" I asked, and both girls turned to me.

"Tell Sia to stop being mean!"

Sia whispered something in response, and I leaned in to hear her words:

"She called me a crybaby."

I turned to look at Melanie, a frown on my face.

"Seriously, Melanie?"

Melanie developed a sudden interest in her locker.

I sighed.

"Sia," I told her, "just because Melanie decides to act like a basic b**ch doesn't mean that you have to be mean back to her."

Then I turned to face Melanie.

"And name-calling? You're not a little kid now."

She looked at the ground, then muttered an apology.

"So!" said Troye, and he started talking about something else.

I was glad of the subject change.

Later, at lunch, I got the feeling that I was being watched again.

I tried to ignore it, but the feeling wouldn't go away.

"Are you okay, Avi?" Tyler asked, concern on his face.

"I'm fine, Tilly," I replied.

"Hey!" Troye protested, "Only I'm allowed to call him that!"

Tyler laughed, wrapping an arm around his boyfriend's waist and pressing a kiss to the side of his head.

"Get a room, you two!" Todrick said, and we all laughed as the two of them blushed.

I smiled as I ate, but I couldn't help but envy them a little bit.

Everyone has someone.

Tyler and Troye have each other.

Scott and Mitch are together.

Kirstie has her boyfriend... oh, right, Jeremy.

But what about me?

Will I ever find someone?

A/N: So, how was that?

BTW, should I continue with Avi, or add a different POV next chapter?

By the way, thanks for the ideas for group members.

Luv you all! *blows kisses*
